Summary: A team of eminent scholars gathered round the project will
do research on the connections between Croatian literature and Italian
literature from the Middle Ages down to the present time, focusing
especially on the systematic gathering and critical evaluation of
"Italica" in Croatian literature and "Croatica" in Italian literature.
Keywords: Croatian and Italčian literary connections, Literary citicism and history, Comparative literature, Croatica, Italica
Research goals: The goal of the research is to establish precisely
the state of the art of critical studies in the domain under
investigation, toopen up new horizons and to analyze in a scholarly manner
the hitherto unknown or little known phenomena of conscious or
unconscious correspondences, congruences or departures from expected
parallelisms on the chronological and typological levels, within the
complexes of models of taste, manners, poetics and ideas. The research
results will be published in three collections of papers on CROATIAN AND
ITALIAN LITERARY CONNECTIONS - Volumes V, VI and VII - the publication of
which is planned in the forthcoming period (1995-1997). These collections
already have a positive tradition and rhythm of publication (Volumes I-IV
from 1990-1994) and have been favourably received in the media and
scholarly periodicals. We expect this to be a contribution to Croatian and
Italian literary history and comparative studies, leading to better mutual
knowledge and understanding.
